There are hard workers, there are workaholics and then there’s Jarrett Bush. The Packers have had a multitude of diligent, dedicated football players since their birth in 1919. Bush is worthy of being in the company of every last one of them.

That's... really cool. I've just gained a whole lot more respect for Jarrett Bush after reading that article.

Wondering how many will actually take the time to read the whole article. so I thought I would post a few of the quotes.


The Green Bay Packers have had a multitude of diligent, dedicated football players since their birth in 1919. Bush is worthy of being in the company of every last one of them.

"Do a little bit extra when you finish," Bush said this week. "It's who I am. It's what I was taught."

Ten minutes after coach Mike McCarthy calls the team together and all players have departed for the air-conditioned respite of the locker room, a solitary figure will remain.
Minus his No. 24 jersey, Bush toiled alone for 12 minutes Aug. 6 after a practice in pads for almost 21/2 hours.

"He can't ever do enough," said Nehring, who is in his 34th season with the Packers. "I have to kick him out."

"It's the old rule being an undrafted free agent. First one there, last one to leave."

"But let me tell you something," fellow cornerback Tramon Williams said. "This is a guy, year in and year out, a lot of guys try to write him off. But ain't nobody that can outwork him.

"You don't have that type of work ethic and passion from a lot of guys in this league."

Bush hasn't missed a game since 2007. Wiry, explosive and strong, he aims to keep his 91-game streak alive.

Well, I'm sure that has something to do with how "available" Bush is and always has been. Good for him.

I have more respect for Mr. Bush after learning of his work ethic. And also it goes to show that if all that work isn't translating into ball location or coverage, then he just doesn't have it.

Unfortunately, he's also "known" for NOT falling on the ball in the '07 NFCCG and unnecessary penalties on ST.

Bush is also "known" to most in the Packer organization as Special Teams MVP almost every year since he joined The team.

I just love how you can bring up all the negatives on a player you don't want on the team, doesn't matter that he can make the team better, all it matters is whether you think he should be on the roster.

In the article it says that there used to be 3 or 4 other players who would join Bush in his after practice workouts, now only Jonathan Franklin is the only player who has joined Bush.

Just wonder how much better the team could be if the guys who are blessed with the natural talent would go the extra mile with Bush?

Favre is still likely to have thrown that game, or the one after if we advanced.

However, that doesn't excuse Bush's fuckup.
